PIX: Direct3D 9 Shader Debugging PIX now enables you to debug vertex shaders and pixel shaders inside of a single frame capture. You can step through the assembly instructions, set breakpoints, and restart the shader from the beginning.

If the shader was compiled with debug information and if the HLSL source file is available, the source code will be shown as well. Currently the shader debugger shows register contents. In future releases it will also show the contents of HLSL variables and will allow source-level stepping. PIX: Current Mesh Viewing It is now possible to view the mesh data for the currently selected draw call event. The 3D data is displayed in wireframe and numeric forms for each stage of the rendering pipeline: before vertex processing, after vertex processing, after the geometry shader, and in screen space. This allows you to inspect how the data changes as it flows through the pipeline for each draw call event.

XACT: 3D Pan Property New properties on the Play event allow a sound designer to specify a panning direction for wave playback of mono or multichannel content. See the XACT Event, Play Wave reference for more information.

Joint operations escalation cheats. But developer and publisher NovaLogic throws in a lot of new features to differentiate Joint Operations from the competition, and some of these features are quite innovative and exciting. Joint Operations Typhoon Rising - PC Categories: It's only natural to think of Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising as an attempt to clone EA's successful multiplayer-focused team-based shooters, Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam. On the surface, Joint Operations looks like a modern-day Battlefield game: you participate as a member of a team as you attempt to seize a number of strategic objectives, and you can run around on foot or jump into a myriad of vehicles to get around the vast maps.
